Where I write the things I learn so I don't forget

What have I learned?

It’s been 11 weeks in Ohio. That’s a longer time than I thought. Moving to a new state, being surrounded with new people, new job, new church, new responsibilities, new relationship status :), new everything. What have I learned from this? A lot, I think. And it has not been easy.

-God is faithful, and I can trust Him. “He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.”

-Allie is the most beautiful person in the entire world. I don’t deserve her.

-He has a purpose for the situations that I am in, and He wants me to learn and grow from them. Like in Exodus, He let them wander in the desert, but He provided for them through it, and He let them be in that place to teach them.

-Parkside church is an awesome church, and it should be my new home here in OH. I am excited to get to know my brothers and sisters there more!

-My struggles with anxiety are not over.

-I have learned that I can’t look to my performance, or what I do, to define me. (Now actually following through on that is harder still…but at least so far I learned what I need to do).

It has been a really hard couple of months…But God will give me the strength to persevere through this.
